How do I know if I need therapy?

Our Approach

How Psychotherapy Works

We Get To Know You

We use a collaborative therapeutic process to help you get to where you want to go. In our first session, we will get to know you: the difficulties you’re experiencing, and your past and present.

We Develop A Plan

What are you hoping to get out of therapy? We meet you where you’re at to understand your needs and goals. Together, we develop a plan that best supports you throughout our time together.

We Provide Ongoing Support

We adapt our approach and process to help you feel better so you can move forward with confidence. You are welcome to stay as long as you need, seeing counselling as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Questions About Individual Therapy

Have other questions?

Friends are great and it is important to reach out when you are struggling. However, therapists are trained to understand the roots of the difficulties you are facing and to work with you to find the right solutions. They are able to be objective in ways that friends and family often cannot. Lastly, everything that you speak to a therapist about remains confidential, which ensures that your privacy is maintained.

Most insurance plans will cover in whole or in part the fees for private therapy services. Fees for psychological services can be claimed under tax-deductible health care expenses on your income tax return. Additionally, Psychology Plus offers reduced rates when seeing qualifying therapists to help clients be able to receive therapeutic services at a price point they can afford.

Think of it as a first date. While credentials matter, success is largely based on your ability to feel comfortable and connect with your therapist. Our office offers initial consultation for clients to ensure you can find the right fit before committing for your comfort and well-being.

After working with a therapist for a few sessions, you should begin to feel like there is a plan to move you forward and that you are developing tools to manage your difficulties better. You should begin to feel more hopeful and content about the future. If you are struggling, talk with your therapist, they can tailor things to better support you and meet your needs and challenges. You should never feel stuck or stagnant in your therapeutic process.

The therapy process is individual, and so is healing. Your therapist should work with you to understand what healing entails and create a treatment plan with a timeline that meets your needs. While the end goal of “getting better” is difficult to name, you should find healing and relief as the therapeutic process unfolds.
